  Yeah, at least the Elden Ring has, don’t think I’ve seen the others

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How good is the Steam Deck really? (Not a gamer)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve definitely gone to far with that, but I kinda of enjoy it. The amount of options there are particularly with being able to map a button to the mouse moving somewhere, clicking, and moving back, have made some games feel like they have native controller support when they don’t

  Not necessarily. If your phone uses usb-c, and if you get a usb-c flash drive, you can make a bootable USB with your phone with the flasher app. The reviews are pretty mixed for it for whether or not it works, but could be worth a shot.

  Awesome, that happened to me in KOTOR 2, will have to try it again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s still going strong. SteamOS 2.0, the Debian based one that was on the old steam machines has been discontinued and is no longer supported. SteamOS 3.0, on the deck, is Arch based and is not yet officially supported on anything other than a Steam Deck.

  The value isn’t for existing PC gamers. It would be for people who are not tech literate, do not know how to build a PC, install an OS, or even tell if a given computer is powerful enough to run a particular game.

  I think that’s the real strength (and more importantly, intent) of the Steam deck: to get people who aren’t PC gamers to become PC gamers by making it as simple as a traditional console. Steam machines could provide a similar thing if there were a Steam Machine 1 Verified flag next to games.

  Only surprise for me is that Witcher 3 is so high up. In my experience it doesn’t actually run very well and needs the settings cranked down for an unstable 30 fps. Glad people are enjoying it, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck had a strong end to 2023 and a great start for 2024⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I particularly like that it’s gained enough popularity that most of the gaming podcasts I’ll listen to will make some remark on whether or not a particular game works well on steam deck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to Dexerto Ayaneo next handheld is going to use SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That fits the kind of use case I would want from something in addition to the Deck. That said, I don’t know this is the form factor I’d want; what I’d love is something that could actually fit in my pocket like a Gameboy. This seems like it’d be a bit big for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Point shop has a collection of new Deck startup movies, including ones themed for Elden Ring, Hades, Persona 5, and Vampire Survivors.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing particularly good, some stuff for your steam profile. I’ve only used the points on the startup movies and some keyboards

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[News] Steam Deck OLED review: much more than a screen improvement - Polygon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t Valve release their own teardown of the Deck before its release?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you currently playing on your deck? - October 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tactics Ogre and Temtem. Both good games for pausing frequently when I have other things going on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I missed that memo
